Comment on 'No hire' job market leaves unemployed in limbo as threats to economy multiply

One of the scariest thing about being unemployed for over a year is the number of times I have been told they have pulled the position rather than they went with another candidate. I have never seen the tech job market like this and im old.

They post ghost positions to make the company look like it is growing more than it actually is. This increases the stock price.

I don’t think what im talking about is the same. Spent time and resources to have a few rounds of interviews. Ghost jobs tend not to go past the post the job stage.

Not necessarily. I’ve had 3 first-round interviews for positions that were later confirmed to not exist and “might” exist in the future

I find that hard to believe unless they had you interviewing with a mimum wage contractor. I mean its possible but makes no sense at all. Companies realize how much personnel cost and taking them away from projects to evaluate a person they have no intention of hiring is just burning money.
